NASA's asteroid plan to capture an asteroid and return it to Earth is a little less murky than it used to be, thanks to a new video released by the agency.

Here's the concept animation of how a jaunt to the nearest space rock would actually look:

Regrettably, it's not quite like "Armageddon" or even "Deep Impact," but when you think of the logistics, it's actually more impressive than science fiction.

Basically, the plan is to launch two astronauts aboard an Orion space capsule -- another piece of tech that's still in development -- on a nine-day trip to an asteroid, already in the hands of a robotic capture vehicle.

They'll spend another six days docked at the capture vehicle, then blast off back home, ten days away.

It looks spiffy, but NASA's still working out the details of how the operation will run. It's currently considering around 400 suggestions sent in from industry players, universities and the public, covering every aspect of the mission.
